Everyone Loves the Sleigh

They'd had a few days to get settled in. In that time, the Yetis and Elves had been nothing but welcoming, making sure the gang had a never-ending supply of treats, cocoa, and eggnog, as well as more wholesome food to nosh on. Even though they had work to do - and seemed to enjoy doing it - the Yetis had been helpful in getting them all settled in, into rooms specially designed to each of their specifications. If anything had a want or need of something, like new clothes, or a new pair of shoes, they'd been quick to provide.

Jack and Bunny had done their part to make the new folks feel welcome, as well, by showing them around and socializing, but they'd been in and out constantly during the last few days. Some of the times they'd come back in, they'd looked a touch on this side of ragged.

True to their word, despite the fact that they'd been busy putting out fires caused by Kuk and Its minions, they had reached out to a few contacts of theirs to see about helping the others get home.

That was why Jack was gathering them all up on the balcony in front of the globe.

"Okay, guys, we have some good news. We managed to get in touch with an ally of ours. We think she can give us more information about what exactly you are. Like...how much you were changed to be like us, how the mechanics of the world have changed to pull you in. It might give us some headway in figuring out how to get you back home. She wants to meet you."

"We'll figure it out when we get back to base!" Nico answered, trying to keep her voice steady so Molly wouldn't freak out more. It was definitely freak out-worthy, but now wasn't the time or place. "Stick close to the sleigh in the meantime, I've got you covered. Help Howard, he might need a second pair of hands!"

In the meantime, she can put the remains of the roller coaster to good use:

"'Coast guard!"

The pile of wood and metal cracked into pieces before resolving itself into half a dozen large golem-like creatures that immediately set about intercepting Fearling attacks and trying to open paths toward the sleigh for the others. She felt her grip of the skipping stones spell loosening and released it, filing that away as another thing to work on when they got back to the Pole. The roller coaster golems were plenty to control right now anyway.

"Yeah, getting knocked down tends to do that," Howard says quickly. He holds a hand out. "Give me some wire or string or something, Hattie."

He can see it laid out in front of him, not visually but in his head, a glowing pattern of what's missing. As he gets things in his hands, it's like finding puzzle pieces, except sometimes the picture he's making rearranges. Necessity gives way to different requirements as the possibilities change and new avenues are explored.

"Keep stuff coming, Hats."
